With his warm personality and signature rich baritone, Lanchashire-born singer Rick Astley shot to global success in the Eighties with hits including “Together Forever” and, of course, “Never Gonna Give You Up”.
After retiring a decade later, he delighted fans with his return to music amid a newfound viral fame thanks to the “Rickrolling” meme. He has since won over new generations of listeners thanks to collaborations with acts including the Foo Fighters and Bastille, as well as his rapturously received set at Glastonbury, where he covered songs by The Smiths with Manchester rock band Blossoms.
